I would opine that an indeterminate horizon is where things started to
go pear-shaped with that flight... But I will always wonder how much
part the pax played in the ultimate outcome - in terms of distraction
before and after it started to get away from him.

I will also wonder why he didn't engage at least the wing leveler or HDG
mode of the autopilot (*before* it really got serious of course). Ego?
Lack of A/P training/knowledge?

Please excuse a little change in the subject. I mention this only because
the subject happened to come up a week or so ago, but, does anyone think
this "might" have played a part in JFK Jr's accident? He was a relatively
new pilot and might have easily succumbed to such a phenomenon.

Just wondering?
Fly Safe,
Steve R.
